About NYKREDIT REALKREDIT A/S

Nykredit Realkredit A/S is a Danish mortgage-credit institution and part of the Nykredit Group, supervised by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, with activities focused on originating and servicing residential, commercial and agricultural mortgages across Denmark. Loans are distributed under the Nykredit brand and via Totalkredit A/S, a wholly owned group subsidiary that partners with a broad network of local and regional banks. Funding is largely matched to lending through issuance of Danish covered bonds from separate capital centres under the balance principle, primarily SDO/SDRO structures alongside legacy RO pools, providing bondholders with preferential claims on cover assets and dual recourse to the issuer. Collateral follows Danish statutory loan-to-value limits, with widespread use of adjustable-rate loans refinanced via auctions and borrower prepayment options that include delivering the underlying bonds at par. The issuer taps both DKK and EUR markets, benefiting from the depth and liquidity of the Danish covered-bond market and eligibility of domestic bonds for central bank facilities. Nykredit Realkredit is ultimately majority-owned by Forenet Kredit, an association of customers, alongside minority stakes held by Danish institutional investors, and operates alongside Nykredit Bank A/S, which provides deposits, derivatives and unsecured funding for the group. Key risk factors include Danish housing market dynamics, borrower affordability, refinancing and interest-rate risks embedded in the mortgage model, and regulatory changes to capital, LTV and covered-bond frameworks. The company reports under IFRS, maintains detailed investor reporting at capital-centre level, and has issued green covered bonds backed by energy-efficient property collateral under a published framework.
